Product Description
The Simpson Heavy Embedded Truss Anchor delivers an engineered solution for connecting roof trusses securely to concrete and masonry walls. Built from 16-gauge steel with a G90 galvanized finish, this heavy-duty truss anchor is load rated for wind and seismic forces, making it a dependable choice for residential and commercial roof framing where structural performance is critical. The anchor installs straight or can be field-bent around truss or rafter members, and its staggered nail patterns work to strengthen uplift resistance across a range of single- and multi-ply truss configurations.
Key Features
- Indented embedment line - takes the guesswork out of installation by marking the precise embed depth directly on the anchor, reducing errors in the field
- Compatible with the Simpson Strong-Tie preassembled TSS snap-in seat - simplifies truss seating during installation, saving time on the job site
- Load rated for wind and seismic forces - gives builders and inspectors confidence that the connection meets structural performance requirements in demanding conditions
- 20-in. exposed length - provides adequate reach to make a secure connection to the truss or rafter member above the wall line
- Embeds 4 in. into a poured concrete bond beam or grouted block wall - creates a solid anchor point that ties the roof structure directly into the wall system
- 16-gauge steel construction - delivers the heavy-duty strength needed for structural roof-to-wall connections subject to high uplift loads
- Galvanized G90 finish - provides extra corrosion resistance to extend service life in exposed or moisture-prone construction environments
- Can be installed straight or field-bent - offers the flexibility to accommodate varying framing conditions without requiring additional hardware or custom fabrication
- Compatible with single- and multi-ply trusses when used in pairs - makes this anchor a versatile option across a wide range of roof framing applications
Why This Product
- Engineered for code-critical connections - the HETA24 is load rated for both wind and seismic forces, making it suitable for projects where verified uplift resistance and structural compliance are non-negotiable
- Built-in accuracy for faster, cleaner installs - the indented embedment line removes guesswork at the wall, helping crews embed the anchor at the correct depth consistently without measuring each piece individually
- Flexible enough to handle real-world framing conditions - the ability to install straight or field-bend around truss or rafter members means this anchor adapts to the job rather than requiring the job to adapt to it
- Trusted Simpson engineering with compatible system components - designed to work with the Simpson Strong-Tie preassembled TSS snap-in seat, this anchor fits into a broader system of coordinated connectors rather than functioning as a standalone part
